The Coast Guard suspends its search for two teens and an 8-year-old who went missing in the water near the Crescent City Connection Bridge.
Missing is a 15-year-old male, 14-year-old female and 8-year-old female last seen entering the water Saturday evening.
Search and rescue crews suspended the search at 7:33 p.m. on Sunday.
“The decision to suspend any search and rescue case is never easy but considering the extensive search efforts of our Coast Guard men and women, in conjunction with other response agencies, I’ve made the difficult decision to suspend our active search for the three children,” said Capt. Kelly Denning, Coast Guard Sector New Orleans commander. “Our prayers are with the families during this difficult time.”
Rescue crews searched more than 93 miles along the Mississippi River with a combined 55 total hours.
